Since 1995 the current Wild Card format has been in place. That’s 17 years. That’s a long ass time. ‘95 turned out to be the first year I started following baseball. I was 8 years old that summer and living in central Jersey. The local TV stations picked up every Yankees and Mets games. Since […]

A Playoff System that is currently benefiting our current Wild Card winner by championing the victor of the All-Star game, the system is indeed flawed. I have a restructure that will never happen, but makes sense and is fun to talk about. Enjoy. Lots and lots of people are complaining that Bud Selig has effectively […]

The 15-5 loss was a horrible exclamation point on a great season. It featured a disastrous 3rd inning, bad umpiring, bad fielding, and quite of bit of luck that went the Rangers way. But, I’m done with it. I can’t focus on this lone game because it makes me too damn mad, because that’s how […]
